He probably feels that by not accepting the car he's offering you, that you're being ungrateful. Whatever you end up with, thanks him for it 1000x and enjoy it. My first car was a bondo'd 1973 Monte Carlo that my dad bought me for $800.

It sounds to me like you're in a win-win situation, and have no room to complain about whatever he gives you. Hopefully you get something you like, but beggars can't be choosers. Hounding him about what kind of car you want is probably not going to get you driving any sooner, or increase your chances of landing a Camaro.

And if you're can't talk him into getting you Bumblebee, one of these might be a good option over Mustang. NO visibility issues here

You can adjust to anything with enough time, but I don't know how comfortable I would've been driving had it been my first car, especially starting out. You can do it if you're careful, don't get me wrong. Just letting you know that even for someone that's been driving for some time now, it's tricky. Has your dad driven the car yet?

ok, ill talk to him, but year i will be graeful for what ever i get, i just want to see if you guys understand where hes coming from,l by going against chevy and for ford

2011 mustang v8. For your age that's big. Some people are die hard ford/chevy fanatics. You said you wanted a v6 camaro, again some people hear v6 and frown regardless of the power.

If it were me I'd be grateful. My first car was a 94 tercel dx and I spent WAY too much money fixing it and keeping it running. What is this some type of reward for those grades in your honors classes through high school?

I say take the 2011 mustang drive it, enjoy it, and when you get out of college grab a camaro then if you still have the desire for one, they'll probably be better than the ones out now by then.

ok, and yea my dad test drove the camaro and he liked it the day of driving, but now hes like the slight lines arent too great.

Ah.... well if it's your safety that's got him resisting the Camaro then it's gonna be tough to change his mind (which is a good thing) but it sounds like either way you're getting a damned nice first car.

i guess so, but i have been saving every dollar i have earned since 7, and i had jobs cutting the lawns for 5 years as well, but isnt the visiblitiy the same as the mustang

Dude, if you've got 15k of your own money to go spend on a car, I would highly recommend going and finding a used Cobalt SS. Heck, you'd probably have cash left over for some upgrades. But, for a first car at your age, that's a beast. Plus, it'll definately be a good learning car before upping the ante and getting yourself into a 2012 or 2013 Camaro.

Just a thought...

[suprspinner]

i have thought about the colbalt, but the styling of it just doesnt compare

[JaxJags]

Just be grateful that your dad is offering you a new v8 mustang.

[suprspinner]

i am grateful

[CamaroSkooter]

My point wasn't about the styling

You could get a Cobalt SS outright and only have to worry about insurance payments. The car would be paid off with the 15k. But, hey, do whatever you want (within your dad's guidelines, that is)...

[suprspinner]

yea i no,
